Benefits of technology

The invention is a way to make it easier for people to type characters during phone calls. It works by receiving a signal that a user wants to type a number, and then recognizing the number based on the user's voice communication. This number is then sent to the person being called instead of the spoken words. The technical effect of this invention is to make phone calls faster and more efficient, by allowing users to quickly type characters instead of speaking them.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above scheme is disadvantageous in that, while making a call, the user has to reposition the terminal to see the keypad or touch screen of the terminal and, after inputting a desired number, return the terminal to the user's ear.
In the case of touch screen phones, there is a problem in that the user has to carry out more complex operations in order to input a desired number.
If the user makes an error in this process, the user may be required to repeat the process again from the beginning.
While this problem is especially apparent with touch screen phones, phones having a keypad also suffer from this inconvenience.
